BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 20. To increase media literacy, the Republic of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Science and Education, in collaboration with its partners, is prepared to support the process of translating information from foreign sources into Azerbaijani, said the Head of the Public Relations and Communications Department of the ministry Sabuhi Rzayev during a panel discussion at the conference "Media Literacy" in Baku, Trend reports.
"Unfortunately, there is little information in Azerbaijani on the modern Internet. The Ministry of Science and Education indicates willingness to collaborate in translating material from worldwide platforms, and Azerbaijani university lecturers might be included in this process. This will allow for more access to information and will lead to an increase in media literacy among the general populace," he said.
